Full Belly Project

Full Belly Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Belly_Project

The Full Belly Project Ltd is a non-profit organization based out of Wilmington, North Carolina, which designs labor-saving devices to improve the lives of people in developing communities. Their main devices are the Universal Nut Sheller (UNS) and the Rocker Water Pump. The first device, the UNS, they designed was a peanut sheller but, farmers started using it for other crops. The UNS is now used for coffee, jatropha, neem, and shea in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Since 2009, their research has been focused on designing a water pump [and many more products]. (more)
